“War Against the Mafia Part 3”
Writers: Don & Linda Pendleton adapted from his novel.
Artists: Sandu Florea and Mike Deodato, Sr.
Mack Bolan continues his war against the Mafia. He starts with their loan shark operation. Posing as someone important he enters the place as an auditor. He takes half a million and burns the records. The he goes after Leo Turrin but gets wounded by Turrin’s wife. He manages to find shelter with a woman who lives alone and decides to help him. She takes care of his wounds and shelters him from the police. The mob is really going after Bolan after his attempted assassination of the head capo.
The third issue is another excellent adaptation of the novel. Unfortunately, what was to be a four-part series ends with this issue. Innovation went bankrupt and we never did get the final issue. That was a shame since with Don writing it was a very faithful adaptation. There were plans to continue adapting his books. While the comic readers don’t get an ending, I would highly recommend reading the book. It is easily available after all these years and still a fun read.
